Just got my 2009 GL450. Is this a good deal?

This is my first post. Originally, I was looking at 2007-2008 GL450 with low miles but came accross the following and thought it was a good deal:

2009 GL450
Black on Black MBTex
P1 package (including premium sound,Parktronic,keyless,Sirius, etc).
Rear seat entertainment
Appearance package (running boards,skid plates,rails,etc).
20'' wheels
Illuminated Dooor Sills
MSRP $70K

20,000miles/Super clean

Got it for $53K

I was looking specifically for black/black with appearance package (I like the way the running boards/skid plates look).

Is this a good deal? Ok deal?

Thanks!

Very good deal.
Are you sure this is P1 package ? Those options belong to P2....

I saw the actual MSRP sticker for the car; it definitely listed P1.

The added price listed for P1 on MSRP sticker was about $8,000.

What's odd though is that this P1 does seem to include pretty much everything included in P1/P2 for 2010 model on MBUSA.com.

Not sure if perhaps P2 was not available in 2009.


Overall, I am very happy with all the options this particular car included. The only options I wish it had that it did not are:
  • bi-xenon lights;
  • wood/leather steering wheel
I am going to research if one can install special bi-xenon lights aftermarket.

Thanks!

They had 48k into that particular truck.

Fair deal, not great, but if you are happy that is all that matters.

What if it was CPOed an extra year to 100K miles? How much more would it cost the dealer?

$1500.
I believe you can split half-half with dealer so you only need to pay $750 extra. At least local MB dealer agreed me on this.
